okay I give it a quick test then. I'm using it now
I only changed the sfs and kept my savefile so
using that one now. The graphic in Firefox is different.

Every char looks different. Don't remember if that where the case
with the old one.

I have to go to bed now. Ask if there is something you want me to test
on such a small "netbook" Acer D255 computer.

oh by the way. It force me to manually do connect to the internet.
That is maybe a security feature?
Another thing. The Cursor looks like a bit railway type if capital I
not the usual one with an arrow. but that is only on this space
when I write. outside of that it change to the arrow._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Does it require manual connection to the internet each time, or just on the first bootup? The manual connection on first boot is the default behavior of Lucid528, i think. It launches right after the country wizard thing. After that, it should automatically connect on each boot.

For those using Diamond, i highly recommend the updated version of Nathan wallpaper setter. I did not see it in time to roll it into the Diamond528_512 release, but it will be in the next release in a few months. If you would like the new version of Nathan wallpaper setter, you can obtain it from the forum link:

The "full" version of Diamond528_512 is now available, May 13th, 2012. This version adds LibreOffice 3.5.3 and Java Runtime Environment 1.7u4. See the first post of this thread for download information:

Hi TLM. I've tried the latest release of Diamond but unfortunately Flash doesn't seem to be installed and didn't run when I reloaded Firefox, even after I installed Flash from the menu.

Is there an easy way of solving hthi?

By the way, I've had problems with Flash in several of the distros I've tried recently, not just Diamond. It seems to be getting more difficult to get it to run in Linux, and I'm thinking of switching to or trying Gnash instead.

Hi,
Are you using Diamond_528_512 regular or full version? I am on the regular version live cd right now. Firefox under Tools-Add-ons Plugins shows flashplayer installed. Also verified it to work on Youtube and other flash sites. So flashplayer is installed in 528_512 regular and working here. Let me check the full version. It should be identical. I just added jre and LibreOffice and remastered.

Ok, I just booted up the Diamond528_512 full and flashplayer version 11,2,202,235 is installed and working on it as well. Have you tried various different flash sites?

I'm using Full (i.e. with Libre Office).

Nope, YouTube Flash still isn't working in Firefox and even when I reinstalled GetFlash from the menu it didn't work either.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Have you tried various versions of flashplayer? GetFlash v1.0 will offer several versions to download. Perhaps the version i packaged with Diamond is not liking your hardware. Could you verify that flashplayer shows up in your Plugins under Firefox--Tools--Add-ons? Are you working from an install, or from the live cd? I have 2 computers here and flashplayer works on both. I will test on some friends PCs and see if there are hardware related compatibility flashplayer issues.

Could you launch FF from terminal, and then go to YouTube and see if terminal returns any error messages? You might also manually delete the file libflashplayer.so from the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory and try reinstalling flashplayer again.

Success at last! GetFlash didn't work at all for me (and nothing was showing up in the Add Ons menu), but what did work was downloading Flash Lucid 10. 3 r181from the Puppy Package Manager, Firefoxt plays You Tube videos just fine now (and the Flash plugin now shows up in the Add Ons menu too).
